'rats can have all the precinct captains and money and organization they want, but until they learn one Very Simple Lesson, they will never win the WH, no matter who the GOP nominates (Bush proved that): The hard left that dominates their "message" is totally out of the mainstream; nominating, Kerry, Hillary, Obama...cmon !! Until they overcome the hard left, they will remain on the outside. There are plenty of normal democrats, (including algore before he went off the deep end), but they never see the light of day. Frankly, even though I am no democrat, I wish they would; it would be better for America
